Check CUBE SIZE The dimensions of the cubes are fixed by the size and shape of the molds on the evaporator plate, except that the thickness of the cube MAY need to be adjusted at start up. There is only one size of cube that is correct; adjusting the cube size control to that size of cube will allow the ice maker to produce ice at its most efficient size. The correct size cubes will appear similar to the illustration for “Correct Size Cube”. October 1993 Page 12

Remove control box cover. A. To start the HARVEST CYCLE: Slowly rotate the shaft of the timer and switch assembly clockwise until the actuator arm on the microswitch begins the harvest cycle. An audible click can be heard, but in a noisy area, look at the cam and switch to observe the event B. To start the FREEZING CYCLE: Slowly rotate the shaft of the timer and switch assembly clockwise, until the actuator arm on the microswitch starts the freezing cycle. C. To adjust the length of the harvest cycle: 1. Loosen the adjustment screw on the cam, and rotate the shaft of the cam to move the top part of the assembly. More of a gap between the high and low portions will yield more harvest time. 2. Tighten the set screw. 3. Replace the control box cover and front panel. lt is important that the length of the harvest cycle allow enough time for all the ice cubes to fall from the evaporator. Too short of a time will cause the evaporator to freeze up and stop ejecting ice into the bin. Too much time wastes icemaking capacity, energy and water. Adjustment of the harvest cycle may require an adjustment of the cube size control.SET SCREW October 1993 Page 14

The relay functions in part toby-pass the bin control during the harvest andfreeze cycles, preventing the icemaker fromshutting off in the middle of a cycle. The bypassaction allows only complete freeze and harvestcycles; the only time that the ice maker can shutoff on bin control is as the end of the harvest cycle.Timer - Timer & Switch AssemblyThe timer begins to turn when activated by thecube size control. The outer surface, or largediameter lobe of the timer cam, determines thelength of time for finish freezing of the ice cubes,while the inner surface, or small diameter lobe,determines length of the harvest cycle. Thesingle-pole, double throw microswitch on the timercontrols the power to the plug in relay coil, makingit either the freezing or harvest cycle. Themicroswitch is actuated by a cam assemblydirectly connected to the timer motor. The timercam can be adjusted to vary the defrost time, asrequired. One complete rotation of the cam willtake eight minutes. Harvest is preset at 2 and aquarter minutes.October 1993 Page 15

MCM1062R ON/OFF/WASH SWITCHCOMPONENT DESCRIPTIONIce Level ControlThis electronic control uses sound waves tomeasure the distance between the bottom of theice machine and the top of the ice in the bin. It isdesigned to control the machines ice production tomaintain that distance.The control is adjustable so that the ice machinewill maintain a certain height of ice. It will not fillany closer to the ice machine than 8\", and will notwork if the distance to the bottom of the bin isgreater than 8 feet.Because it uses sound waves, a slight “ticking”sound can be heard coming from the bottom of themachine.ICE LEVELSELECTOR SWITCH SOUND THE USER CAN WAVES SELECT THE AMOUNT OF ICE TO BE MAINTAINED IN THE BIN.

The water pump operates receiver to keep the refrigerant flowing.continuously, through both the freezing cycle andthe harvest cycle.During the freezing cycle, the hot gas solenoidvalve is CLOSED and the water inlet solenoidvalve is CLOSED. When the ice cubes are partiallyformed, the cube size control will sense thetemperature at which it is preset to CLOSE. Thiswill complete the electrical circuit to the timer. Thetimer then controls the remainder of the freezingcycle. The timer will keep the icemaker operatingin the freezing cycle for a selected length of time.This will give the ice cubes time to fully form. afterthat selected length of time, the timer will switchthe icemaker into the harvest cycle, through thecontacts of the timer assembly microswitch.October 1993 Page 21
